Anecdotal, but I think there's some kind of immunity component. My parents grew up in a mosquito infested country. When we visited said country, us kids were bitten up while my parents were fine. If it was genetics, you think it would've been passed on to us. The locals commonly joked that mosquitos like "new blood." You could see tourists with itchy red bite reactions while the locals were fine.

Oh wow, this is a REALLY cool visualization. I'm going to show this to friends who can't read sheet music. Thanks for sharing!
Also I can't remember seeing a Youtube video that old. Pretty OG.
Yep Minshew's confirmed. Thought they'd go with AOC judging from the two preseason games, plus maybe thinking he could develop. They must've seen otherwise in practice. Either way, I'm behind the coaching decision. Ready for another season of mediocrity but hoping for the best. Davante posted a hype reel so he seems excited.
Damn that might be mine too. We didn't get to have video games when I was little. Then I discovered PC gaming via Runescape😂
Tildes is a good example of a healthy community that allows for differences while encouraging good faith discussion. They police for tone instead of wrongness and it's been working out over there. People are generally happy with the discourse.
A lot of it is in site design, too. There aren't downvotes, because they're not needed. There's a lot of proactive moderation coming from the community by using comment labels. Labels help push comments up or down, and some require you to type a reason why, which encourages thoughtfulness instead of knee-jerk hivemind reaction and pile on. The only publicly visible label is the "good" one, so it keeps things positive. The "bad" label alerts mods and has a cooldown time limit, so it's less likely to be abused. I believe once it's used on a comment, the person can no longer reply to it, which helps avoid negative back and forths.
Too much growth too fast for sure! Much harder for Lemmy to create its own culture and maintain it. Much harder to discourage toxicity. Notice how healthy communities are often smaller.
Sucks for niche communities but they'll get slowly spun up over time, and in the meantime they can be found in other places including Reddit. I don't personally need everything to be a one-stop shop.
Dude they're falling apart and shit
I blame Kanye West. -.-
Ooh. I like the water ripples (looks great zoomed out) and increased sense of depth in the Monet one.

That's crazy. I went on a tour on this same glacier just a month ago. Wondering if I was at the same ice cave because it was very accessible, had two entrances like described, the drive and hike times are about the same. So very unnerving!
When we were there, our guide even said to be very careful, to not talk loudly, and especially not to linger at the entrance. Because of his experience and also being trained in glacier search and rescue, we felt in good hands.
We were only a total of 3 people. You know nature can be unpredictable, but I can't imagine 23 people in a fast melting ice cave was ever a good idea. Iceland is most likely going to have to change the law and ban ice cave tours in the summer.
